(1995)) (the Regulations), issued pursuant to Section 13(c) of the 
Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C.A. app. 
Secs. 2401-2420 (1991, Supp. 1993, and Pub. L. No. 103-277, July 5, 
1994)) (the Act).\1\ The Charging Letter alleged that:

    \1\ The Act expired on August 20, 1994. Executive Order No. 
12924 (59 FR 43437, August 23, 1994) continued the Regulations in

    (1) On 15 separate occasions between on or about August 27, 1986 
through on or about July 29, 1987, Freedman caused or induced another 
person to make false statements of material fact to a U.S. agency in 
connection with the preparation submission, or use of an export control 
document, in violation of Section 787.2 of the Regulations.
    Freedman cooperated with the Department in its investigation into 
the matters alleged in the Charging Letter and answered the Charging 
Letter, denying the allegations set forth therein. After the Answer was 
filed, the Department and Freedman entered into a Consent Agreement 
pursuant to Section 787.17(a) of the Regulations whereby they agreed to 
settle this matter in accordance with the terms and conditions set 
forth therein;
    The Administrative Law Judge having recommended that I approve the 
terms of the Consent Agreement; and
    After reading and approving those terms;
    It is therefore ordered,
    First, all outstanding individual validated licenses in which Julia 
Freedman appears or participates, in any manner or capacity, are hereby 
revoked and shall be returned forthwith to the Office of Exporter

shall, for a period of ten years from the date of this Order, be denied

involving any commodity or technical data exported or to be exported 
from the United States, and subject to the Regulations.
    A. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, participation, 
either in the United States or abroad, shall include participation,

servicing of such commodities or technical data.
    B. After notice and opportunity for comment as provided in Section 
788.3(c) of the Regulations, any person, firm, corporation, or business 
organization related to Freedman by affiliation, ownership, control, or 
position of responsibility in the conduct of trade or related services 
may also be subject to the provisions of this Order.
    C. As provided by Section 787.12(a) of the Regulations, without 
prior disclosure of the facts to and specific authorization of the 
Office of Exporter Services, in consultation with the Office of Export 
Enforcement, no person may directly or indirectly, in any manner or 
capacity: (1) Apply for, obtain or use any license, Shipper's Export 
Declaration, bill or lading, or other export control document relating

for another person then subject to an order revoking or denying his 
export privileges or then excluded from practice before the Bureau of 
Export Administration; or (ii) order, buy, receive, use, sell, deliver, 
store, dispose of, forward, transport, finance, or otherwise service or 
participate: (a) in any transaction which may involve any commodity or 
technical data exported or to be exported from the United States; (b) 
in any reexport thereof; or (c) in any other transaction which is 
subject to the Export Administration Regulations, if the person denied 
export privileges may obtain any benefit or have any interest in, 
directly or indirectly, any of these transactions.
    D. As authorized by Sections 788.16 and 788.17 of the Regulations, 
the denial period shall be suspended for a period of seven years 
beginning three years from the data of entry of this Order, and shall 
thereafter be waived, provided that, during the period of suspension,

license issued thereunder.

and this Order shall be made available to the public. A copy of this
